Examinations take place at any time between October 15th and June 20th, except during the' Christmas and Easter vacations. They are vivd voce and writ- ten; but candidates may be exempted from the latter and confine themselves to the vivd voce tests. Candidates must exhibit their qualifica- tions or DiplomaSi The three examinations may be got through in a week, allowing a day's in- terval between each test. Saturday is the most eligible day for arriving for candidates for whom time is an object. The delay of a week is, how- ever, never exceeded by more than a day or two. The examinations are conducted in English, through the medium of an inter- preter for such candidates as are not familiar with the French language. Candidates who are not foreign qualified medical men must undergo the examina- tions named above, and also an examina- tion in Anatomy, Physiology, and His- tology, and must produce a Degree in Arts or Science from some recognised Univer- sity, together with certificates showing that the candidate has attended for five years the Lectures of a medical college, and for three years the medical and surreal practice of a hospital. In case the Degree in Arts or Sciences is not forthcoming the candidate will be required to pass a pre- liminary examination in those subjects prior to being admitted to the medical examinations.

In order to matricu- late at this University the candidate must be a Graduate in Arts of some University, or else pass a thorough preliminary exami- nation. He must then attend for two years a scientific course, including Psycho- logyi Chemistry (organic and inorganic). Physics, Botany, Zoology, and Mineralogy, and at the end of that time pass an ex- amination. The course of medical study must next be undergone, viz. five years of attendance at Lectures, and three years attendance at hospital. • At the end of the second year of medical studies an exami- nation must be passed in Descriptive Anatomy, Histology, Physiology, Pharma- cology, and Comparative Anatomy ; an- other at the end of the fourth year in Geaeral Pathology, Therapeutics, Theory and Practice of Medicine, and Morbid Anatomy ; and another at the end of the fifth year in Theory and Practice of Sur- gery and Obstetrics. The final examina- tion for the Doctorate takes place a few weeks after the close of the course, and includes the general subjects of the course, together with practical examinations in Clinical Medicine, Clinical Surgery, and Obstetrics, and in Operative Surgery. Candidates who have attended the requisite number of Lectures and the prescribed term of hospital practice at some other recognised University or Medical College, will be admitted to the final examination for the Doctorate, provided that they possess a Degree in Arts from some Uni- versity, or else pass the matriculation examination here. All examinations are conducted in French. The Medical School is a first-class one. LI^GE This University, which was established in 1817, grants a Degree in Medicine, which can only be obtained after passing three examinations, in the French lan- guage, in Natural Sciences and Medical subjects. Before being admitted to ex- amination the candidate must produce evidence, by certificates, that he has attended the Lectures of a recognised Medical Institution for five years, and the practice of a hospital for three years. The first examination includes the fol- lowing subjects — General Chemistry, Logic, Psychology, Moral Philosophy, Experimental Physics, Elements of Zoo- logy, Elements of Botany (comprising the medical category). Elementary Geology and Mineralogy. This is called the ex- amination for candidates in natural sciences. The second examination, which is for candidates in medicine, includes Elements of Comparative Anatomy, Descriptive and Regional Anatomy, Human Physiology, and Pharmacologia.

The instruction in the Facnlty of Medicine is given free of charge to the students, at the Academy of Snrgery, and at the King Frederick's Hospital. The student must attend a two yearg* Course of instruction iu Zoology, Botany, Pbyeics,andChemistry (including analysis). After passing an Eiamination upon thew . subjects, be most attend a five years' Course of Btndy of the Medical subjects, after which he mast pass a written Examination upon Medicine, Surgery, and Legal Medi- cine, and a.

A Course of study of four years is necessary I , before the stndeut can be admitted to Ex- 'jf aminntion for the D^yee of Doctor of W • Medicine, or of Medicine and Sorgery. * Tbe student most enter in November, when A the scholastic year begins. Ou lodging thi 8 above papers with the Secretary of the W Faculty, together with the Diploma of A hachtUer-ia-leltra, he must enter his nam ' &c., in a register kept tor that purpo^ f and is giyen a carte d'iaicriptioH. He I renews bis inicriptjon every quartet he has taken oat sixteen inscriptions At the end afthe first three yenra of stody, the atndent has to anbmit to a i ' Preliminary Examinationa, termed du Jin d'atutee, which ia divided into three parta, and which may bo passed at once or the Coarse of three years. The first L in the compriaes Phyaics, Chemistry, and Natural History, considered in their application to Medicine; the second consista of the 'lementa of Anatomy (bonea, joints, ind muscles), and tbe elements of Pliy- siology ; and the third conaiBts of Medi- cal and Surgical Pathology. By the end of the third year, it he have not done before, tbe foreign as well as the French ident must produce tbe Diploma of baetitlier-ei-ieieiieea in the French Uni- for wliioh he is examined in Physics, Chemistry, and Natural History. For British students, however, the Degree of Bachelor of Arts, or a certificate of ng passed the Matricnlation Eiami- on of any of the Universities of Great Britain, woald be accepted as equivalent to the French Degree, for which latter the cost ia 60 franca, or Two Pounds of English money. The Examinations of the_^B iTannBa take place in July of the first, second, and third scholastic yeara on the subjoots men- ioned above s failing in any of which, nd in another trial in November, the student cannot present bimaetf again for lixaminntion, nor take out another inscrip- tion, till after the lapse of a year. From the eighth to the sixteenth inscription, the student must attend a Hoapital. At the end of the fourth year he can go in for the final < Eiamlnations for tbe Degree of Doctor, termed examena da doctoral, or exaiiKtis de rAeption, These consist of five parU, and alter them a Theaia. The following are the anljects of the five Emminations ; 1. Analamy. Physiology, and Histology, with Diasection. 2. Medical and Surgical Pathology.Oper- ntire Surgery, Operations ou the Dend Body. 3. Medical Natural History, Medical Physics, Medical Chemistry, Phsrmacology. 4. Hygiene, Forensic Medicine, Materia Medics, Therapeutics. 5. Clinical Medicine, Clinical Surgery, and Clinical Midwifery. The last Examination is strictly practical. Three cases (one of each in Medicine, Sargery, and Midwifery) in tbe Hoapital are selected ; and the Diagnosea, Prog- noses, and Treatment, are expected to be given. The Theaia consista of a IKssertation i French, printed at tbe expense of the cat didate, on a Buhject selected by him i Medicine or Surgery. The candidate has then to undergo a vivSvoce Examination oi the subject of his DiBaertabion, and oi fourteen qnestiouB drawn by lot, corres ponding totbef ourteen branches of Medical I taaglit »t (be echool, and which ore printed at tlie end of tha Thesis.

In the event of the candidate being re- jeoted, another trial ia generally allowed at the end of three monthH. For tlie Degree of Doctor in Snrgerj, the candidate will have to submit to a further Eiamination. The Fees, which are Sxed by law, amount in all to 1372 franca, or about £53.

Tbe law for. bids anyone to call himself " Arzt " (Phytician) nnleas he has passed the Btate Board, or "Doctor," nnless he has paaaed the Examinationa at Boma Univcrsit; and thereby acquired tbe Degree. Tbe Doctor wbo bag not passed tbo State Board is not a Lia.'Dsed Phyaician and may hold no appointment whatever, and if he practise, bas DO power or right to insist on pajr- meut of hia services. The Physician, licensed by tbo State Board, on tbe nthei hand, is not nllowed to call hitnself " Doctor," unlesa be bns paaeed a Univer- litj Board. The Practitioner wbo is neither Doctor nor Physician, practises at hia peril j for though be is not forbidden by law to do BO, yet, if any mishap occar from hia ignorance, ho hia punished not only by fine, bat by imprisonment for a period varying from six months to ten years. The eipenaea of passing tbe State Board are less than half of those for tbe Faculty of a Univeraity, and the Exami- nation is more exclusively practical ; bence it is lelected by the poorer students who aeeh only a rnnil practice. Tbe majority of itndents pass both the Dniversity and the State Examinationa.and this is especially necessary for those who aspire to any Medical Office. No Medical Diploma, either from a University or otberwiac, can be obtained in this country wlthont a Oymnasial certificate, to obtain which an Examination must be passed at a German 0;;mBasium (Public School) in Oreetc, Latin, at least one modern lan- guage, besides OermaDi Logic, the Physical Sciences, and Matbematlcs. A candidate who caimot present this, or an eqnivab'ot ocrliflcate, muat puss a proliminary Ei- e snlgucta. 'E to i The Domher and character of Profea- eorial Chairs in the Medical Facnltiea vary greatly in the diffcri:nt Univcraitee, but n aU wa find Three Claases of Teachers, til. Professors, extraordinary or assistant ProfesBora, and prival-donenls. Thna, at Berlin, there are l-l Professors, 14 assiatants, and 37 privat-doceati, with about 260 stadentsi Kiel, the smallest University, with 97 stndents, has 7 Pro- fessors and 6 pr'val-doeentt. Tbe Professors are appointed for life, and at the end of thirty years' servico con retire on a pension; they receive a filed salary from the State or University ■a, part of the revenue derived by the edical Facolty from certain Fees, and their Lecture Fees from tlie students. The fixed salary is occasionally increased according to tbe ancceaa and reputation of the ProfesEor. Any Doctor in Medicine may be a candidate for a vacant Choir, " selection being made by tbe Minister Pabllc Instruction from a list or names commended by the Faculty. The extraordinary or assistant Profes- rs are appointed in tike mannor from among the prival-doceali. As a mle, their compensation comes only from stu- dents* Fees, hut occanionally a small fixed salary is allowed. The position of privat-doceat is acces- sible to all Doctors of Medicine, and the number is unlimited. Their compensation is from students' Fees, and they may not underbid the regular Professor. At some Dniveraitiea they are furnished with rooms, and given a share of the Clinics; at otbocs, they receive little or no aasistanoe. There are no independent schools in Germany. No one can open a Course on his own responaihility, and the Univer- sities have alone the power to confer Academic Uradua. The system of prieal- doeeiUi, however, compensates in a great measure for this want of treedom. As the test of fitness for a Degree in tbe University, or for the position of a Prac- titioner in tbe State, is mainly, the ability to pass certain Examinntious, and us the ■alariea of tbe Profetaors are guSiranteed by the SUte, it is evident that it makes little difference as to preciaely when, where, or how the student gets his infor- mation, provided only that he really gets it. There is, therefore, litUe objection to free, or, as it is sometimes called, "extra- mural teaching," and bence young men of ability can establish themselves aa private teachers, demonstrators, &c, in the im- mediate vioinity of the Universities, re- I 1 I 80 MEDICAL EDITCATION i PRACTIOB I I lying on their own tslenta and tact to aecure pupils.

After thu ceremony of promotion ia completed, the Dean delivers the Diploma to the newly- created doctor, who inscribes hia name with hia own hand in tbe book of the Faculty. Tlie expense of making oat the Diploma (15 Marks) ia borne by the candi- date. A copy of it is fixed on the black hoard of the Faculty, and a certain number of copies delivered to tbe Regis- trar of the University for distribution.

Tbe second portion (201 Marks for the Faculty, and 15 Marks for tbe University Library), may be paid either at tbe same time with the other or within the period between tbe "eiamen rigoroaum" and the promotion. In addi- tion to this the candidate has to pay exponsee of printing the Dissertation and Diploma {vide 6 and 8). 10. The shortest time in which the whole of tho procecdinga for obtaining a Doctor'a Degree oan be gone through is ten days. In this case, however, it is stipulated that the Dissertation be de- livered ready for printing to tbe Dean at tbe iirst application, and tbat tbe other hasineaa of tbe Faculty permits tbem to proceed at once to the Exaniinattona. As a rule, snch a rapid succession of all the proceedings cannot be depended npon.

WARSZAWA (WARSAW) This University wiifl suppressed in 1830 and re-opened in 1860. There is a good Medical School. This large it^land belongs to the Kingdom of Italy, and iU Medical Iowa are the same as those of that cnuntry. There are no Medical Schools or Universities. SEETIA This conntry offers few temptations at the present time to foreign Medical men. The people are poor and money is scarce. The conditions for Medical Practice are:— Ist, a Diploma from the Medical Facolty at Belgrade, or 2nd, a Degree from a French or Austrian University. BELGRADE There is a Medical School and Clinical Hospital here, which ijranta Diplomas to practise under the following conditions : — 1. A Gymnaiial Maturity certificate. 2. Certificate of attendance on all the Coarsea of LeeCnresat this School. 3. Eia before the Faculty on all branches of Hed- ieine. 4. Payment of Examination and Pro motion Fees. This School, althoogh by ni means an inferior one, is rarely attended hy foreigners, by whom as a rule the la gnage is with difficulty learnt.

ZURICH The following are the rpgnlations foi Degrt-o of Doctor of Medicine and Surgery : 1. In order to obtain the Degree of Doctor of Medicine the candidate must send to tlie Dean a written memorial, BCMlnpanied by (o) evidence of attendance on Leetares of Physics, Chuniiatry, Botany, Zoology, and Medical Subjects ; (i) a Dis- aertation on some subjects in Medical Science, which, after approval, tho candi- date must have printed at his own expense. S. The Diisertation is delivered by the Dean for Eiamii]ation to the tc^Dcher of the subject of which it treats, or to the Member of the Facnlty at whose sng^s- tion it has been componcd. A reeam- mendstory opinion of the first Examiner decides its acceptance ; in this case his name appears on tho title when it is printed. If tbe first opinion he doubtful or unfavorable the Thesis mnst be circu- lated among all the Members of tlie Faculty, and is only accepted if two thirds of them give their written votes in its 3.

The first part ia written, and the candidate has to answer two qnes. tiona drawn by lot, one on Anatomy and Physiology, the other on Pathology and Thorapentica, Surgery, or Midwifery. Tha answers are circulated among the Members of tho Faculty, who, after eiamining them, express in writing their determination (by a simple majority) whether the candidate shall be admitted to the Second (Oral) Examination. Tbe Oral Examination com- prises tho above.named sabjects, and also General Anatomy, Patliological AnalAmy, Materia Medica, and Ophthalmic Medi- cine. The votes of two thirds of the Members of the Faculty present is neoes- sary for the passing of this Examination. 4.

There are a num- ber of European residents in and near Saigon and Camhodia, hut there is no ac- oonnt of any European Medical man. The native Doctors are educated, according to the Chinese system, in the north and east, and, according' to tbe Burmese aysteni, in the Booth and west, and will not bear of ■ny innovation of European doctrines. A deecription of both these systems will be I found In tlie parts relating to China and BURHA luntry is one of the richest of tbe ineral wealth; fadea principally, through the medium of ■Xangoon, with India. The science of ' Medicine, aa it exists among the Burmese esent day. Is decidedly primitive,, notwithstanding tbe clnse proximity cf the country to lai^e British colonics. Tho lollowing, which has been eitrocbed from Dr Keith Norman Macdonald'a excellent work on 'Medicine among the Burmese,' arc the fandameutal doctrines taoght bj the Burmese Medical Faculty: The blood in human bodies has two mo- tions — Thway-tek (ascending), and Tway- tbet (ebbing or descending). " ' tinnes for six days alternately, ana on ine aeventh day both meet in the coorae of their circulation, when tba least derangement in the system causes a diS^eaae. This circulation is on tbe fourth day inHnenced hy windy matter, ou tbe fifth day by the bile or galluous matter.and on the sixth day by putrid matter, while on the aeventb day a general change takes place, aud the circulation changes its course. The blood then becomes inUuenced by the Ah-ha- tha-d4t {Heaven element), which seU all the other elements in a state of commo- tion. When the cirenlation gets ont of order in this way a dissHse follows, and no Medicine must be given until after the third day. The human constitution Is composed of foor d&ts or elements. (1.) The Pat-ta-wee, or earth dit, conaisidng of the flesb, bones, Ac. (2.) The Tay- Ziw, or fire d&t, consisting of the external and Internal heat of the animal body. (3.) The.Ab-baw, or water dit, consisting of the blood, sweat, and other liquids. (4.) Tbe Wah-yaw, or windy d&t, consist- ing of the wind. Besides these four dSti there is one other, the Ab-ka-tha, or Heaven dit, which keeps all the others in motion. When any of the component parts of any of the four d4ts is influenq^ hy tbe fifth dSt, that part of the body to which it belong is put outof order; thus, if the Ah-ka-tha dftt acts on the Hesh, or bones, the Pat-ta-wee dit is disordered. The dat system of Medicine is on the fol- lowing plnn : All sickness subsides on the sixth day- Sickness occurring on Sunday is caused hy the Pat-ta-wee, or earth d&t, being in exceas; tbe fire dit, which attended the I I I I i patient at liia canception, is destrojeit, and the gall caiuicqiieiiUy touched. Sickness occurrinff on Monday ia caused by the water dSt heioR in eicesa ; the wiailj dflt, which atbonded the patient ut his concep- tion, is destroyed and the appetite lost. In diieasBB accan-ing oa Taesday, the &re dftb IB in exoess, and Che gall disordered. When a diaease occurs ou Wednesday, tlie water d&t is in exFesB, the appetite de- stroyed, and the bowela canatipaited. Sick- ness occurring on Thursday is cuneed by the gall being in excess; the Ah-ka-tlia (lit, which attended the patient at his con- ceptioD, ia diiturbcd, and the Ore d&t is diaorganiied. When a disease occurs an Friday there is an excess of fonl food in the stomach, the earth dftt, which attended the putient st his conception, is destroyed, and the fire dAt is diatnrbed, which in- creases the beat of the budy. Sickness occuiTing on Sntnrday is canBod by the Ah-ka-tha dit being in excese; the fire d&t is destroyed and the water d4t is dis- turbed; Dpon these rules appears to be con- structed the whole of the immense system □f Hurmeee Medicine, for a minute de- scription of which, together with the Bnr- niescMatenaMedicn, the reader is referred to the above-mentioned work hy Dr Mac- dunald. There are many Europeans in Bumiah, and a few £ur"penu Medical men, anil in the British Bettlements an the coast there sio a great number of both (vidt India). Nnttre Medical men are obliged to stady for some years under Professors of Medi- cine in Ava before they are allowed to practise, and are then very chary about admitting Boy European doctrines into their plan of pniulice. CIYLOir This large and beautiful island belongs to Qreat Britain, and contains a great number of Kuropenn settlers. Any British, Colonial, or native Pliysician may practise. TliB former have the best practices, and are generally employed hy European mer- chants. In the high land coffee districts many Europeans, with large establish- ments, employ British Medical men Co attend them, their families, managers, servants, &i!„ and pay them fixed annual salaries, which are generally large. Calcutta and Madras Degrees are ob- tained by coloured gentlemen, who are descendants of the Dutch and Portuguese inhabitants of the island, and their Diplomas are recognised by the Colonial ] Oovernment for civil appointments. There is a MediL-Hl School at Cnloinho, i tion with the Indian Uuiveisibies, but no University in Ceyluu. Besides the European Medioal men and native prac- titioners of the European system, there are a great number of native ]iraetitIonflrs of the Hindu system, but these are en- tirely employed by the poorer classea of CHINA In this vast empire there are thrw distinct systems of Medicine existing — tha Chinese, the Tibetian, and the Eoropean. The first prevails in China proper, the second in Tibet, Turkestan, and the northern Mongolian districts borderiag on Siberia, and the third exists only in the luaritiine districts. 'In Cliina proper it is traditionally stated that Houang-ty (B.C. 2637} formed the knowledge of Medicine into a system, the epitome of which Una come down to us auder the name of Kuei-king. It is probable that Cliaug-ku (about A.n. 229) first culti- vnted the science of Medicine, as no Medical works before that time recom- mend the preparation and mixture of Medicines; a sufficient proof of the little attention that bad been paid to the cul- tivation of the healing art. Tl]e Medical hooks are nameroas in China, and are often foysterions and inscrutable, being hased on Che supposed superior light and experience of the ancients, and are l\ill of erroneous theoretical knowledge of hot air and cold, the dry and the moiety the superior and the inferior influences, &c. The Chinese imperial work (' E-tsung-king- kass') bas been revised and republished by the Physicians of the Hoyal College, in obedience to an Imperial order. But, ignorant of aaatomy, thoy apply theory to explain the pheuouieoa of the human body, and are persuaded that there is a close connection between them and the motions of the heavenly bodies. The igno- rance of the modern Chinese practitioner in any unusual complication of disease ia well marked. An interesting example waa stated during Lord Macartney's Embassy, hen the Calao, or VJiier of the Emperor, ill sick. This was considered by the iiinese Physicians as having arisen from malignant vapour, which had insinuated self into the frame, and, flying from one part of the body to another, bad caused I I I I * Fmai Di W I ■ iieilcm 101 MEDICAL EDDCATION AND FRACTICB I I the diatresaiDg lymptomB. Wit1i tbeview of Bllowlng the Hir to eecupp, they had made deep panctures with gold and silver needlee, which cuused eiqiiiaite pHin without giving any relief. Dr. GiUen fonod the indisposition to proceed from rheuma- tism, combined with a hernia, which wsa ■ooD relieved hj the aaeietance of the Boropeaa Phyaician. In conaeqaence of tb6 restricted nature of the Chinese ^fitem of education, and their being con- tent with merely repeating, and never varjiQg the form of learning, or attempt- ing to enlarge ita boundary, their educa- tion produces no salatary improve tueut. There is a Medical College at Ppki.i for the propagation of the Chineae system of Medicine, and for the inatrnctioo of the higher clnsaes of Practitionera for im- perial purposea. For it youths are aelected chieQy IVom the f&Loiliea of the Medical profeauoD, as they are accnatomcd to attend the sick, and are sappneed to possesa cberiehed Medical receipts. These Stndents are allowed to practise On prisoners ; and with thia elementary know- ledge they enter the College, the Pro- fessors of which are nrrau|j;ed into grades, flfteeo being Imperial Piiysiciana, forty inferior practitiODera, thirty apprentices, and twotity apothecariea. The aelected Fhyaiciaas watch over the health of the Emperor and his household, and the great oiGcera of the State whsn siek, and on these oceaeiona relaya of horses and camels and travelling eipenteeare allowed when they are sent to a dislaiico. There is also a Board of Health, which is in- tended to watch over the working of the Medical art in the city, and to prevent mil irregularities in the proper method of during the difierent classes of disease by mperintenffing the subordinate Medical <^cers, but without any eiamining powera. Siapenaarios and native Hospitala eiist in ■ome of the chief citiea of Cliina, where Oie poor receive gratnitoua Medical aid from Practitionera in the pay of the 9tate. Without the mesns of acquiring anatomical or physiological knowledge no advaDcHment is made in the improvement of Medicine. A degenerate class of the prieata of Fo and Taotse employ chiefly cbarms and andden agitation in order to flrive away evil apirits, which, they declare, produce disease. For this purpose they Sre off crackers, or oblige the patient to leap out of bed and run about the room to drive out the spirits. An in- ferior order of these quacks, like those of Europe, distribute hand-bills and post . ap placards aboot towna and cities, in comiiiendatiiin of themselves and their drugs i and some of tbeir remedies are really ueefnl. The nnmberof Medical Prac- titioDers in cities and villaijes is often large. There are computed to be two thousand in Canton alaue. Many of these are poor and ignorant, and follow the Medical art as the easiest means of ao- quiriug a livelihood; and being asaooiated with quacka and mountebank a, they are held in little repots, and have very small fees. The Chineae Practitioners are not always paid by the visit but by the Medi- cines they recommend, the price of which is enhanced in value by the Practitioner, and diminUhed by the patient and his friends. Some of the better class of Prac- titioners in cities viait their patients in aedau-chaira at a fixed hour betbro break- fast. The chief person of the house receive! iiim, and tea and pipes areaS*ered, after wliich be is requested to eiamiue the sick person's pulse. He then asks a few questions, prescribea for his patient, and receivis his fee, wrapped up iu red paper, which is called " golden thanks," The lee varies in value from two shillings and sixpence to Sve or aii shillings, ac- cording to the reputation of the Prac- titioner and the meaiia of the patient. The respect the Chinese have for the departed, and their rooted aversion to touch a corpse, and still more to cut and mutilate it, interferes seriously with their study of anatomy, and thns tbeir know- ledge of the poaition, form, and naea of the viacera is ofCeo of the crudest and most erroneous natuie. The liver ranks next to the heart, and is the seat of the intelligent soul, and from the gall-bladder emanate bold determinations. The third essential organ is the lunge, but their functions of organising nod purifying the blood, and removing the superfluous carbon, are unknown to tbem. In the centre of the thorax they place the vital soul, the breath (ke), whose appearance at birth announces the arrival into the ex- ternal world. The kidneys, the spleen, and the stomach form the other esaential organs. Like the Greeks, the Chinese suppose the arteries to contain air; and have no name or correct distinction for the arteries and veins ; not ba*-iQg observed the valves of the veins, the capillary vessels, or the change of the blood in the lunga. They, however, make a distinction in favour of Medical Juriaprudenee, which is one of the subjects of their competitive Examiuatiun, and is carefully etadied. In I caus of sadden and violent death the 1; is examined externally, from which they draw their conclnaions. In modern times the importance of a Icnowledge of anatomy, and interconrae with naCii)Da who considered it aa tbe fonndatioD of the profesiiuii of healing;, has indnued them to prepurea Tew rnde inaccurate platee to aasiet in its Btady, which are snpposed to give a general ontline of the organs; exbibitini; what they Buppone ought to be them, rather than what they have really eeen. It is Btated that Wang Wei wrote a book deBcribing the anat«iiiy of tbe haman body, BB exiiibited by a copper model in Peliin, said to be eitremly rude and im- perfect. Anatomy is not taught at tbe Imperial College. They divide the hnman body into two luilves, each of which has one eye, one arm, Bhoulder, leg, fout, &c. They likewise divide tbe Irady into three parts, a high, middle, and lower part. Tbe Snt reacbea from the head and neck to the upper opcuiog of tbe atomaoh, and ooroproliends the bead, lungs, heart, and its envelopes, &c.) tiie aecond, or middle part, eitenda from the upper orifice of tim stomach to tbe middle of tbe abdo- Vien, and inctudea the stomach, apleeu, liver, &c,\ and the third, or lower piir^ aitenda from the middle of tbe abdomen to the feet, and is made up of the kidneya, bladder, ureters, intea tinea, &c. The constituent clemetita of the body conaiet of two parta, viz. vital heat (yang), and radical moiaturo (yin). These ctementa reaide in the blood and vital apirita, their union eonatituting- life and their aeparatiou death. Tbe radical moiature eiiats iu six different parts — on the left side, in tbe heart, liver, and left kidney— on the ri|^ht aide, in the luuga, Bpleen, and right kid- ney. The vital heat, which eiiata in tbe viscera, ia coadned to the amall inteatinea, gall-bladder, and nreters, on the left aide, ■nd to tlio large inteatinoa, gtumach. and genital organs on the right aide. The con- cordance which exitta between the viscera ia chisaiBed as follows :— Tlie small intes- tines are in harmony with the heart ; the gall-bladder with the liver; the ureters with tbe kidneya ; the large intestines with the lungs ; tlie stomach with the spleen ; and the generative organs with tbe right kidney. Tbe vital heat and radical mois- ture of the body pa«a st certain times into the viscera rrom tbe limha. and elee vend. Diseases are cured by tbe action of ex- ternal agents upon the vital economy. In summer the beat acta npou the heart •od UtgB iutesUnes, the viiwera being in 108 harmony with the sonth, the liver and gall-bladder with the atmoephere, and both with the east^ aa well as the apring. Tbe metals act upon the lungs and large intes- tiuea, being in harmony with Che west, and with the autumn. Vital heat and radical moisture begin at three o'clock in the jnoining, commencing in tbe Inngs and terminating in tbe liver in twenty-four houra. The number of pulaaUons in twenty-foQT hours amounta to between S4,000 and 67,000, while the number of respirations in the same time is about 35,000. The principal basis, however, upon which Chiueae Medicine rests ia the atate of the pulse. From it they discover both the seat and canae of diacoao. Dis- easea of the heart are discovered by the sLate of the pulse of the left arm j thoae of the liver by the state of the palse of the same arm higlier up ; in diacaaeii of the stomach the pulse ia felt iu the right arm ; in thoae of the lungs at the wriat; and in those of the kidneys above the wrist. Id addition to its physical framework, tbe human body ia supposed to be eodowed with dve qualities or virtues corresponding to tho five olements of the Chinese cosmo- gony. These coostitnte tlie meutal and oorain absoluto la, c reof m « him to tbe ethereal power of the universe, uetween these principles thtre is a mutual connection and harmony; and as long aa the five elements, and yang and jin, are maintained in wjuilihriam, tbe indi- vidual cnjoya good health ; but ahould one of the elementa predominate over tbe other, or a weakness of either yaug or yin occur, disturbing the eqniiibrium, it de- ranges the functions of certain organs, and produces tbe aneasy feeling of sickneas in our organization. Diseases caused by these derungenienta are accompanied either by an excess or deficiency of beat, cold, or moiatare ; and Hedicinca employed to correct sncli irregnlnrities restore tho healthy equilibrium. The system of the Chinese physics, like thst of the Hindus, and of t'ytbagoraa, relics much on the influence of numbera, particularly five and its multiples. There are five plaurU, Satnm, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and Mer- cury, and five simple bodies or elemtuts, earth, wood, fire, metal, and water. Tliere are likewise five directions, the middle, east, weat, north, and sonth ; five colours, yellow, green, red, white, and black; Bve organs, the heart, Inngs, liver, kidneys, and stomach ; •five membranous ' • Bys.

A goodtranslntiou from tbe Eagliab to the Chinese langnage has latel; been made of an anatomical and phjsialogical work, and, as It is vxtenaivol; read by all clasaes of this gbrewd people, will prove a good foandation for a radical chunge. It Jiftsbeen already followed by another trans- Intiou on the principles and practice of Surgery and Medicine, including a treatise on Midwirer; and puerperal diseases, and inrautile aSeations. Among snoh a people these works will be foond most useful, and already tbey have re-publisbed a large edition for general circulation j and the OhiDese commissioners have sent many copies to Ftrkin and other towns. The Imperial Medical College, in connecUou with Pekin University, is well conducted. Iq Tibet and Tartary the prsctice of Medicine is eiclnsively confined to the priests, or Lamsa. Tbey are alone sup- posed to know the secreta of life, and the means of aasnagiDg the displeasure of Uod by their iiiteroesaions and prayers. There are Lamaserys, or Medical Schoola, as that of Konnboum, where the Faculty of Medi- cine instructs pupils in the art, and from which the head Lamaa and stndcnta pro- ceed every year, towards the close of the summer, to a favorable part of the country, where they remain a fortnight, collecting medicinal plants on the bills. Ever; morning, when on these excnreiona, after nicitlug their prayers in common, drinking their tea, and eating their barley, meal cdces, they tuck-up their garments, and proceed to the billB ander the guidance of one of tho Professors. Each has a lung iron-pointed stick, a small pickuic, and a leathern hag snepended from the girdle; and they carry on their backs large tea kettles, as the party spends tbe entire day in tbe mountains. They return in the evening laden with plants and grasses, and the remainder of the day is spent in cleaning and spreading out on mats the various production a of the vegetable king- dom. Eight dayij are thus spent in col- lecting, and five days in aeleoting and cliiasifyiug the different MedicineR, and on tbe fourteenth day a sniall portion is given to each student, tbe remainder hecoiniDg the property of the Facalty of Mediciue. The fifteenth day is kept as a festival la the form of a banquet of tea, with milk, barley-meal, little cakes fried in batter, and boiled mutton. The mudicines are deposited in tbe drug room of Ihe Lama- aery, where tbey are tborougUy dried by the heat of a moderate fire, reduced to powder, and divided into small doses, which are neatly enveloped in paper, and labelled witb their names. Tbe pilgrims who viut the Lamasery purchase these remedies at exorbitant prices, and the Mongol Tartars never return home from market without an ample store, having an unlimited confidence in whatever comes from a holy place. The Tibetian Pi^ysicions aro empirical in tbe treatment of disease. They suppose there are fonr hundred and forty diseases to which tbe human liiime is subject; and tbe Lamas of tbe Faculty of Medicine are obliged to study and learn tbeir Medical biNiks by heart before they practise. Whan well prepared by careful study, tbe student! are obliged to treat, in tbe presence of tbe Professors, three diseases, iudioating their characteristics, their diagnosis, and the manner of caring them, to teat their knowledge. The Lama Pbyaiciana, unlike the Chineae, bleed sometimes, and cup often. This is performed by eicoriatiog tbe akin, and like tbe Hindus, placing ovsr it a bullock's bom, open at the point. They exhaust the air within by their mouths, and when a sufficient vacunm ii obtained, stop up tbe bole witb a pellet of chewed paper. Tbey place great reli- ance on tbe state of tbe urine, and require specimens of it, collected at different houra of the day and night. They examine it with minate attention, and take Che greatest hoed of all the changes it ander- goea in colour. They whip it from time to time with a wocdeo apatulu, and then pnt it up to tbe oar to ohaerve whether it makes a noise or otherwise. But tbey rely chiefly on tbe pulse, which they examine much in tbe manner in which a moalcian paiscs bis fingers over the strings of an instmrnent. This is unlike the Chinese, who feel tbe pulee in suceessian, while the Tartars feel both pulses simultaneously. They have only vegetable medicines, and carefully avoid the use of mineral sob- stances.

Iti general plan is given in 'Snarutu,' in wbicli Medicine is divided into eigbt sec- tionB. These are : 1. Salyn, or Surgery; including tbe mode of removing external aabBtiLnoee accidentally introduced into the Iwdy. It explains the means of removing Ibe dead child teosn its mother, of healing weonds inflicted bj abarp iaatpoments, of apply, ing bauduges, ueing Burgicitl instruments in operations, of applying esebarotioa and tire, and of the trent^nent of diff'erent kinds of inflammation, abacesseB, and other enr- Z. SaJakyiL includea tbe description and tbe treatment of external and organic dieeasea of tbe eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and other diseases sitnated above the davielea. These two constitute tbe ^nrgery of modern Schools. 3. EayaChikiteS, in which are described the diBcaticB nbicb affect tbo whole body — (iinmadu), epilepsy (apasnara), teproey (kusta), diabetes (bamutm), and other dlseasea of tbe same kind. This may be considered as constitatiug the practice of Physic. 4, Bhotavidya, or tbe means of restoring the deranged faculties of tbe mind, sup- posed to be productid by demoniacal pus- eesaions, as by the anger of the gods (DevCas), devils (Asars), or another kind of devils (Gaudarba), demigods or devils (Jaksha), giants resembling devils (Rak- ahas), spirits of dead men (Petrigriha), and other kinds of devils (Pishacba). These voiions demigods, when enraged, were supposed to enter into the person, and produce the various diseases of the mind, which could only be removed by prayers. Medicines, ablations, aiid offer- ings to the ofi'ended deity. 6. Kaumara-Bhritya comprised tbe treat- ment of infants, the effects of bad milk, aud improper diet, and tbe natare of infant diaeusea, including those produced by the displeasure of certain demigods {Grabs). 0. Agada. In this division tbe adminis- tration of antidotes for poisons naa consi- dered, as for preventing the effects of, and diseases produced by, miueru!, vegetable. and animal poiaona, auch as tbe bites of dangerous serpents, iasoets, &c. 7. Bosayana treated of those Hedioinea which cure diseases in general, and restore youth, beauty, and happiness. This divi- sion embraced Chemistry, or more properly Alchemy, as the chief of the chemieal combinnUaoS described in it are tnetal- lurgic ; and the intention was to discover the Universal Medicine — tha panacea that would render health permanent, and lite perpetual. Such a Medicine was supposed tupreserve the energies of youth, Btrengthao memory, lengthen life, and prevent as well 6. Bajikarana. Thia division made known the heat means of increasing tba human race, by poiutiug out the mode by which tone was given to the weakened organs of generation, nhen tbe sensibility of tliese parts became diminished or de- ranged. These remarks upon the divisions of thil moat ancient work are tbe only parts which have come down to ua. They afford the most incontestable evidence of the Hindu Medical writings having been tbe result of observation and experience, and that the authors OBsigned a Divine origin to them in order to increase the respeot paid to the hooks and t« tbemsclvea. They thus seem to have arranged the diseases, according to the frequency of tbo assiitance required from tbe art, and ia the order in which the knowledge of Medi- cine naturally advanced. The tacred Aynri veda thus euntained a description of tha structure of the human body; an account^ of tbe causes and diseases t£ i subject, reduced to a systematic form ; the enumeration of many uaelUl remedies; and tbe precepts for preserving health and curing diseases. ' Charaka' and 'Snaruta' are suppoaed to be commentaries on the Ayur-veda, being' more suited to the understanding of a de- generate and saSering people; but the ancient Hindus did not allow tbe pteja- dices that new exist in Asia, against the touching of tbe dead body, to interfere with that important and necessary branch of knowledge, which can be acquired by dissection alone. ' Cliaraka' is considered to bu the most ancient and tbe most cele* brated Hindu Medical divided into dght books, following th« eight divisions of tbe Ayur-veda, ■" " first book (Shloka-s'thana) explaii origin of Medicine and the duty of the Physician; the arrangement, property, and natur^, I I use of Medicine ; and the c BTmtion, and wire of disMw. These ^sibjecto are coiuidered nnder thirty heads. Dot &1wHjs well deGoed.

The second book contHing a dcacription of diaeasea (Nidann s'thana), as fever and its caasea; discharge? of hlood from tlie natural orifices i tnmours (gulma) ; diabetes and gonorrhcoa; leprosy; coninmption; mania and epilepsy. The third book (BImana-a'thana) con- sldera the canses and nature of epidemics; the nature of food ; the aymptoms. dia- gnnsis and caniplicationi of disease i the use and variety of Medicines; and tbe peculiarities of the fluida of the body. The fourth book (Shari^Ea-s'thana) conlaina remarka on the nature of the Bonl i conception; tbe varieties of the gpeciea; tbe qualities of the elements and their comhi nation a ; a description of the different parts of the body; and the cdq- nection of the sonl and boily. The fifth hook (Indriya-s'tbana) con- tains a diFscription of the organa of sense, and their peculiarities and diaeascs; the colour of the body, and the Medicines to improve it; general defects of speech; diseases of the body, and those symptems vhich afiect the acnsen, and other parts of the iKjdy ; the causes of tbe diseases of organs, and of other parts; sodden loas of strength ; and death. The sixth book (Cheketsa-s'thana) con. aiders the trestmeat of disease, and thi means of improving the colonr of the body, increasing Tigonr,and enjoying long life. This is accomplished by improving delicate health, increasing strength, avoid- ing disease, and so reaching old age. By ferding cows yon improve the colour of the body, and incraase strength by the use of their milk.

This book is divided into twelve chapters, in which is given the manner of exhibiting tbe emetics and pargativea used by the ancient Hindus, with directions for employing them. The eighth book (Siddbi-s'tbana) treats of injections and evacuating Medicines, and describes the vital parts of the body. This book is divided inl4i twelve chapters, of which the chief aubjects are the evacuating Medicines ased in fever, in- jections for the urethra, vagina, and rectum ; abscesses, their results and treat- ment; the use of clysters for tho care of diseases; a descripliou of vital parts. Medical Doctrine (8utra-»'thana). book treats of miscellaneous intro- ductory aubjects, such as the principles of Medicine, the origin of Medicine, the se- lection, management, and inauguration of pupils; their faculties; the first principles and elements of the body ; the various forms of disease and ncciilents, and their treatment; the rnlea for teaching; the duty of practitioners; tlie selection and use of instruments and of Medicines ; the influence of the weather on healtli; and the practjce to bo followed after surgicitl operations.

There nre the , ems of Medicine, but the old native one (similar to the Cliineae) ii (fivin|C way to the Enropaan system, which has been most auccessf uUy inlrodnoed into the country by nativea who bave studied and graduated in Europe. The old au tstitionj will make the odvanci; in Med Science a alow one; but already there established in tbe large cities Medical Schools, which me in a flouriahing eoi dilion. For many yeara there has been Medical School at flagasaki, under Dnti managftment, which has educated a great number of native Physicians, bnt does nol grant Degrece. At Yodo (lakid) there ii a Medical School in connectioa with the Dniveraity and Qnvemment General Hos- pital, called the " Imperial Medical College of ¥edo," whose ProfBsaor of Anatomy Is i ■ Fallow of the London College of Surgeons, and wboac Prolesaor of Surgery is a Memberoftbeaame College.

AtMiako (Kiotfl) tbere is also a Huspital and Medical School, wiiich does not grant Diplomoi, and wiiich la presided over by Ftrdinand Ethelbert Junker de Langegg, a Gradante in Medi- cine and Surgery of Vieoua, and Member I of the Loudon College of Surgeons. The Courses of study at these Schools are not quite equal to those of the European Schools, jet Medical Qraduates in Japanwill receive before long an education in every respect equal to that of British PliysiciBna. Strange as this may seem, it is uever- theleaa true. Nor ia this all. Not only la •ducation mnking tbe mott remarkably rapidstrides in these islands, but foreignora and nativea are now placed i>nnn an pnnnl footing, are entirely free t when they like, and are in a luir way convert Japan into a second Britain, respect to education, wealth, and col. metce. Any Graduate in Medicine, or Lioeu- ' may praetiau wlio likes. MALAY PENIKStlLA This Peiunaula comprisca part of tbe Empire of Slam (vide Slam), tbe country of Malaya, and four British Colonies. Medical Practice amongst the nativea of Mahiyu is of a very primitive kind, their Medical men being tanght by the Siameae Practiti oners, who bold tbe doctrinea of the Burmese Faculty. The nativea, how- ever, prefer being attended by these than by the European Physicians at tbe British Settle monte. The British, or Straits Settlements, aa they are called, are ; — Penang Island, WeI- lesley Proviuce, Malacca District and Town, aud Singapore Ishind, each having a great number of European residenta, who conduct an immense trade with India, China, Japan, Siam, and the Bast Indian Islands. Any British or British Culouial Medical man may practise in any of these places, but those intending to commence practice tbere should in the firat place aecnre an appointment in one of the large nietobonts' houses. Tbe varioua large veaacls from Europe and India to the Straits Settle- ment, China, and Japan, bring a great □nmber of patients for tbe reaidcnt Medical men, who rocelvo largo Fees for their services. P0ET1TOUESE COLOITIES These aettlements, viz. Goa, Damaun, and Uin, in India, and Macao, in China, have a popalatiDu of 800,000 inhabitantfl, of which a amall portion are Europeans. Free trade in medicine is allowed at all of the places which are nut songht after by British Practitioners. There are Portu- gneae phyaiclana at all of them, and a few British retidenta. PERSIA Any European Physician may practise here, providad he hand in his name and Degree to hla Consul, who will cDniplcte the neceaaary preliminarioa at the Health '^tllco, and obtain permisaion. There are number of Europeans in the pay of their I I MEDICAL EDUCATION AND PEACnCE I T^pective GoveTnmeats, attaclied to Le- gst'ionK, telegraph compainies, &c. ; but, as the Persiaas are not a paying people, it woulil uot be wise fur a Boropean Pliy- slciim tfl commence practice lo tjie couatry without BQch RD appoiutiuent. There is one pnhlic DiapeoBary In Tehergn, but aa a rnle the Persiuns are in it shouklugly oe- gtcL't^iid state with regard to Medical aid. The cheapest way of getting to Teheran from London is ciS Colagne, Berlin, War- saw, Astrakau, aeroBS tiie Caspian hj steamer tn the Persian port of Enzeli, ftnd thence to Besht, where iiinlea and horses can be hired for Teheran. Bj this route the eipeose is from £3S to £40 second class, except on the Caspian steamers. The native Phjalcians are poorly odccaled mod eiceedingly superstitioua ; but it is expected that there nill be an improve- ment in the system of Medical education befure long. SUH This rich and prosperous country offers many advanta^ea to European eettlers, and baa a largo Enropean population. In Baukok there are a great number of British residents, wbo trade with the Straits Settlements, India, China, Hud Japan, and there are also a few European Medical men. The native population prefer their ors, in the majority of cases, to the Itritisb Physicians, but sometimes they employ them when the native Doctors have failed to effect a cure, and in audi cases pay large Fees.

There are a great number of native Phy- aicians (TebibiiJ, who have full liberty to practise among the native populatiou anywhere in the province. These Medical men are extremely superstitions and totally ignorant of Anatomy, but at the same time have a great store of information. The town of Algiers is a favorite winter bealtb station for British people who vnfTer from pulmonary affections and re- quire a mild winter climate. Frost is nrely seen. There is a British Physician tt Algiers during the winter mouths, ALGIERS (ALGER) The Faculty of Medicine grants the Diploma of ■' Offlcier de Saute," which gives the right tu practise only in tbe province of Algeria, and the regulatioua for which arc the same as at the Fceuoh Fttcnlties, A qualified foreign Phjsi in Paris, who will, if satisfied with the ftpplicsnl^s testimonials, kc, give an order for him to appear before the Faculty at Algiers and pass an oral FianiinBtion in Anatomy, Physiology, Medicine, Surgery, Hidwifery, and a Clinical Examination at the Hospital, tbe cost of which is 850 francs (£34). The Eiamiuation lasts two daya and is conducted io the French CAPE COLOITY on the 'dpe Medical Register.' Tfaoie ] who are Hcensed to practise in the United Kingdom, before obtaining the Cap« Licence, must submit their Diplomas or Certificates of Regbtration to the Cape Medical Bourd, who will at once place their Dames upon the Register. Those who are not already possessed of British Diplomas must satisfy the Board that they are competent to act as Medical Practitioners, by passing an Eiamination before them. This Examination is both thorough and practical, and is conducted always in English. There is no good opening for Medical men here jnat now, the place being overstocked with Doctors, aod business being aomawliat stagnant. The cliiuatv is excellent, and -people live longer than anywhere else in the whole world. The following ia the University : CAPE TOWN The University of the Cape of Qood Hope is a new institution, which bids fair to rival the older Universities of the mother country. The regulations are very good, and the number of stndcnta annuBUy extremely largo. At present there are no Medical Eiaminations held, but tbe Council are about to iuatitute a series of Examinations for their Medical Degree, which at present can only be obtained " ad eundtm gradum," by those who already possess a Medical Degree from some recognised University, EOTPT (HIBB OB MASB) In order to practise as a Medical Prac- titlooer in Egjpt, the licence mnat be obtained from the Medical Focolty of the University of Cairo.

There is but one UaiTersitjr at Ouiro, but there are two Medical Salioola, one in conDection with the CniverBity, and one at Khartonm, in the Sondan (Nnbia). This Medical Sehoni at Khartoum was estabtiahed by Dr. Lowe for the purpose af educating HBtivea sufficiently to take charge of certun districts under the superintendence of a central eonanltant, holding a Diploma from Cairo or elsewhere. A great nnmher of Datives receire a good training at this School every year, who, after passing nn Eiamination of an elementary character, receive a certificate of proficiency, but are not allowed to practise on their own account. CAIRO The Faculty of Medicine at the Uni- veraity (Kaar-El-Ayiieo) grants a Degree, which Ltcenses all who hold it to practise in any part of Egypt. The studies re- quired are l\ill and complete, and stn- dents are obliged to go through the regular Conreo and pass an EiaminalioD before the Faculty before the Degree can he obt^ned. CK>LI) COAST This British Colony is very nnhealthy, and oflers few attractions to Medical Prac- titioners. The population is not large, and what European practice there is is absorbed by the army, navy, and civil service doctors, who are paid by Oovem- ment. The interesting black population prefer their fetisb-mcn and their charms to the services of white men, and as a rule are very conservative, preferring dirt, dirknrss, and ignorance, to education and progress. LIBERIA This Repnblic has a popalation of about 800,000, of whom about 16,000 migrants from America. The language spoken is generally English. The climate, though still fatal to Earopeans, has lately been greatly improved by clearing, drain- age, &c.

NOETH AMEBIC A CAHASA The Dominion of Canada, which forms one of the largest of the British Colonita, is divided into tbe provinces of British Columbia (including Vancouver Island}, Manitoba, Hew Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward's Island, and Quebec, each having its own internal ad- ministration, but all being sabject to tbe Imperial Parliament in London. The laws affecting tbe Medical Pro- fensioD vary in diS'crent provinces and in some are still very primitive. Medical education in Canada is on a par with that in Europe, the Universities and Medical Colleges being well governed, and having, ■a a mlc, great facilities for study. The following are the varioas provinces of the Dominion in alphabetical order : BBITISE COLVHBIA This province contains a population of about 60,000. chiefly adventaters, Chinese, Indians, aud Yankeea.

OHTAEIO This province haa a population of nearly two millions, of which about 80,000 reside at Toronto, the capital. The Medical pro- fossion hero is incorporated, forming wtint ii called the College of Physicians and SurgconB of Ontario, which body regaIat«B all matters relutiug to Medical Education and Practice. The Conncil of this College is composed of twenty-five Me mbere, twelve of whom are elected by the Profession at large, eigbt are representative! of the various Universities and teaching bodies, and five are HonnEOpaths, who are elected by the Homtopatbic Profession through- out tbe province. There ie no teaching iiiBtttotiou in connection with the College. An Examining Board is appointed by the Council, and all persons, no matter wliat qnolifications they poasess, are compelled by law to bo examined by this Board for their licence to practise. It is at preseti' being tested in the Courta whether holdei of British qnalificatioQS cannot compel tbo Coancil to register them without Eiami- nation. Dr. Baldwin, a Graduate of Edin- bni^h. did enforce registration, but the Conncil is now contesting the mutter with several Licentiates of the Edinburgh London Colleges. According to the British law, all persons who are registered on the British Medical Register are entitled to praoUse iu any part of Her Majesty' dominions, whether the British Isles, o the Colonies. It remains for tbe Canadia Logislatiire to prove their right to suhver the laws of the Home Parliament. Th disaffection appears to have arisen in th first instance from the fact that the Britia Medical Registrar refused to register Cans dioQ Degrees and Diplomas, an act which deeply deplore. 1.

The Council of this College ia com- posed of forty roembers, thirty of whom are elsctcd by the profeasion, tbe others being reprcentativos of the Colleges and Schools of Mcdidne.

Several other stutes and mties bave similar regulations, bnt in some there ie very little difficulty in ob- taining a licence to practise, even though tbe -applicant bave little Medical know- ledge.

In SL John's, the largest town, there are only five Medical men, all of whom have British gualificationa, and who have formed a society for tbe purpose of opposing any Medical man who commences practice without a Diploma, obtained after a Course of Professional Edacatlon equal to the minimum required for a regiatorablB Di- ploma in the British Islands. This, how- ever, is tbe only protection the Profession has got, the Inw of tbe colony allowing any person, qnaliSed or otherwise, to prac- tise as a Medical Practitioner, provided they behave themselves respectably, and do not practise tbeir profession in a criminal manner. The Colony ia very poor indeed, and any Medical man who thinks of trying his fortune here had better make of some appointment. miTED STATES These states, altbou);!) united under one central Government for purposes of defunoe, &c., yet ure each of tbem inde- pendent so far us tlieir internal affain I B concerned.

A life-siie figure, made of cloth and stufTed with sawdust, stood against a frame on the platform, and at the left baud of the Lecturer a skeleton, intended for Demonstrative purposes, hung saspeoded from the ceiling. A blackboard, about tbree feet square, was fastened to the wall directly back of the desk, and completed the furniture of the room.

Kev. William Major, Secretary of the * Board of Truitees, is the preacher in charge of Centenary (M. E.) Church, at Forty-first and Spring Garden streets. Mr. Major has always taken a front place in theratiks of reformers, particularly with those en- gaged in trying to enforce a more strict observance of the Sabbath, and in the total abetiuence reform movement. During Murphy's temperance campaign in this city Mr, Mnjor was an ardent supporter of the renowned reformer, and took an active part in conducting the mectiugs which were held nightly at the Annei of the Academy of tlie Fine Arts, on Broad-street.

It is gratifying to learn that tlie charter of this University has be^n cancelled, and Chat no snch Institntions as this are in ex- istivicein any of the States, except as purely private estuulishments. The cnnditinn of Medicine has lately verv much improved in the States, and no Uuivecsity can be established withont the consent of (he State Commissioners of Public Charities and Correction (Commissioners of Police), who sign all the Degrees issued. Most of the States have, moreover, Jreuied laws for the better regulation of Medical practice, ery easy n I On the 21flt of January of tho present Tear the owner of the bnitding on 200 North Tenth -street, occupied by the Philadelphia University of Medicine and Suixery, thought it abont time that be had received some rent. For seven months the Bev. Mr. Miller, A.B., M.D.. D.D., had run the Doctor factory, and had failed to ■ettle with the hmdlord. The services of Mr. Jacob Raymond, constable of the Foorteenth Ward, were called in. He proceeded to the College, and requested the payment of 430 Dollars, that being the ■um due up to January 1. tho preniiaes being rented at a cost of 60 Dollars per month. A levy was made, and among tlie immerons effecta found in the CoUfge were many that were recognised as being a part of thoae which formed a College with which Dr Paine was connected, on Medical Practitii . .. ._ them. In other States things are still in a very backward and nnsatisfacti'cy con- dition, and Medical men are frequently met with who display their attainments on hand-bills in tbe public thoroughfare, while really possessing few merits, and who are permitted to practise on the strength of a testimonial from a regular Qradnute, or some other such quAlificatlon. In many States there eiist a iiumber ot Ueciieal Boards and Societies whose busi- ness it is to take care that no nnijnalified person practises as a Medical Practitioner, and who examine tho Degrees and Diplomas of all candidates for practice, which, if satisfactory, entitle the can- didates to tbe licence to practise, but which, if ansatisfactory, are not considered sufficient qualifications for practice with- out an Eiamination being passed on all Medical subjects before the State Board or Society.

Many of the American Unl- versities, and Coilegea hate joined this AisociatioD, and no doubt many more will looo do lilcewise. There are, however. i«veral flrBt-claia Univertitioa, whoie repntatioQS aro nn impeachable, but which have nob thought fit to join their neighbours In thia movement, lo that the fact of a College belonging to this Association does not in any wiiy imply superiority over many others that are not raemhers, InLlovd, thura are some most excellent Medical Colleget in the States, not members of this Assncintion, whose requirements for Oraduution are very far superior to those enumerated in the Articles of Confederation ; whilst others have requirements fijr Qradnation which exolqdes them from membership. The Article! of CanfcderatioD of tbia Aaao- ciation insist upon a ccrbiin minimum standard of edncation for Medical Prac- titioners, which is at present not very high, hut which, in all probability, will soon be raieed. The step iu the right direction has been taken, and, in such a country as the United States, it is truly mnrvellons that even this much advance has been already made. We may expect great results. None but regular Colleges are adiuittod to membership, in spite of the protestations of certaiu Ei^Iectic and Homreopathic Institutions, and conse- qaeotly the now Association has bad to contend with enemiea both outside and inside the ranks of the profession. De- mocratic Governments are not remarkable for legislative ability or interest in matters of science, and least of all in those in- volving the health and huppiness of the community J and so, whatever tends to elevate the character and ueefulness of the Medical Profession muat be alowly and laboriously worked oat by the frateroily itself. Whether thia ia being done iq the United States or not is a question which must be decided after careful investiga- tion of the exiatiug condition of Medicine in that conntry; and to all onprejodiced judges the far't must be patent that tbe American Medical Profession has not been behindhand in tbe general race of progress, ' which, in the course of one century, I t,,;ra h.ir AkllOLH I. — OF TBB rACtTLTY The Medicul Members of the Faculty mast be regular Qraduatca or LicantiatM and Practitionera of Medicine, in gvrad standing, using: the word "regular" in tbe sense oommonly understood in the Medical Profession.

II, — ECLKCTIO MBDIOAI iNBTmjTB The following is extracted, word for word, from tbe Annual Announcement for 1879-80. " The Eclectic Medical Institute, organ- ised in 1813, chartered by tbe Ohio Legis- lature in 1816. was tbe ontgrowth of the popular dissatisfatition with regnlar, or Old-School Medioine. The antiphlogistic prtictice of the early part af the century had grown to saeh proportions that many people would not endure it, and they gladly accepted anything that promised relief. From the botanic practice of an earlier day the Eclectic system of Medi- oine was gradoalty developed by Dra. Beach, Morrow, Jones, and others, and its aucceaa made a demand for Pbyaicians of this School, which was met at Qrst by tbe organisation of the Wortbington Medical College in 1832, the Eclectic Medical In- stitute being its successor. It was a vig> NOltTH AMERICA. 177 I orouB proteiit ngftiinBt the practice of tlie dny, nnd tlierc was no uncertainty in thv iBBucH made. It wu asBertsil on the one hund thnt diaeaae mimt be crushed out b) the use of tba lancet, mercnriala, anti- mony, harsli purgution, blisters, and simi- lar means, tind on the other, that diaeaBe VBS an inpnirnient of life, and that all remedial means ahonld be directed to the conservation of this life. On the ore aide blood-lotting, calomel, antimony, opium, and blisters, were the principal agencies ein|>loyed, nnd the treatment was called antiphlogistic On the other, the reme- dies were principally from the indigenous Materia Medico, and the treatment waa to a contiderable extent reatorstive. "The now prai'dce was vigorously op- .poaed, its supporters called quickfl, and charlntana, and every means, creditable or diaereditttble, were mjide uao of to cmah it out. In ■□ far se the Oovemment, atute and national, cnuld be inHnencod, it was influenced against ns. Popular prejudices were eioited at Wortbington witti refer- ence to lubjecb for dissection (snppoicd grave-yard robberiea), until it cnlmioated in mob violence, and the Cr)llege was forced to remove. The charter of the Eclectic Medicul Inetitute was obtained with the irreuteat difficulty on account of this opposition, the most DDscrnpaloua muans being employed to defeat it. But atep by step the battle waa foneht and won, antil this Scbiiol or Medicioa has become a power in the laud, and even iCa opponents respect it. " The Eclectic Medical Inatitnte boa fought this battle with but a moderate ■monnt of assistance from the Colleges at Worceater, Syracuse , nnd other places. The men are yet living who have suffered from the persecotion of the past, and they are not likely to forget the differencea be- tween Otd-Schoul and Eclectic Medicine, and it will be a long time before they will affiliate with their opponents. We wiah it dialinclly underetood that the syatcm of JMdicine that wo deaignate as EcUelieum " distinctly and radically diflercnt from " I of other Schools, and if we did It superior no woald not teach " Whilst thus emphatic in the exproaaion of one belief, we do not wish tn be under stood as dealing a like liberty of opinion and action to others. Let every man Kmlne thu teachinga and the practice of three Schools of Medicine, and select t which ia moat rcaaonahle, and that ich gives the greatest succcsa. Always willing to accept the good ft;om any source, and to (;ive proper credit for it, it would be nothing more than fair to aslc that others should teat what we oifer, and give us credit when it ia found good. "The Eclectic practice of Medicine, as taught in this College, has been thoroogldy tested in all parts of the country, and its success has proven its Huperiority. Sta- dcuts going out from its balls have been able to do a successful and lucrative pmc- tice from the first, and have not been obliged to wait years for recognition. This depends as much on the methods of tescbing, as upon the remedies used, the object being to point out the relation between the symptoms of disease nnd the action of remedies so that the merest tyro in the profession may know it. " We teach Specific Medication, and wo propose to present it in such form that the student can make uae of it. The re- medies are to be pleaaunt in form, amall in dose, cartain in action, relieving the un- pleasantneaa of disease, shortening its duration, and saving life. If a student of ordinary ability will give dne diligence to atiidy nnd attendance upon Lectures the required time, we will promiae him a huo- cessfnl practice of Medicine, and as it is free froui the oncertainties of the ordinary practice, he will be free from many of the anxieties of profeasional life. " Let every man be guided hy his convic- tiouB. If he believes the Eclectic system of Medicine the best, let him by all means attend an Eclectic College. 'No man can serve two masters,' and the man of strong convictions, earnest resolves and penever- ance, will he the snccessful man. It ahonld be widely known that old-achonl colleges will not recognise the time of reading nnder an Eclectic Physician. They are always ready to take the money of our Eclectic atudonts, hut they will not treat them with fuiriics-<, and ore prohibi- ted from Graduating thera. A consider- able nnniber of cases have come nudcr our observBtion where students have been reftiaed Examination, though they have complied with all the requirements of the Coth-goa."

P LESSEE ANTILLES These islHnds form part of the West Indian Art'hipelago, and mostly belong to Great Uritain, Fiance, Uollaud, and Spmn. BRITISH POSSESSIONS le are principally amall islands, thr impoitaut of which are Anguilla, itigua, UarbadocB, Burbudn, Dominica, ■enada. Orenadinea, St Lucin, 9t Vin- cent. Tobago, and Trinidad. Any Biitiah or Colonial Practitioner may practise at any of theea placoa without Lindrance; and at Trinidad, foreign Piactitionera may also practise, provided that they paaa the EiaminatioQ instituted bv the Govern- ment specially for thom. Tbis Examina- tion ii really condncted by the London College nf Physicians, wbich aende out Eiamination papers to be answered hy those Foreign prsctitioncra who wish to practise in the iatand. Tboie papera are returned to London, and should the answers bo deemed satisfaatory hy the CdIIbko, the candidates are registered as Colonial practitioners, and be<:omo mem- bers of tbe Trinidad Medical Board, wliioh is composed of all tlie resident Mediciil Practitioners in the ialand. There is a email Fee of ^Ix or Eight Dollars for registration and admiswon to the Board. Tbere is no.Medical Scfaoot in these islands, but the Arts Examination of Codrington College, Bsrbadooa, is recognised in Great Britain aa a sufficient ijiiuli Scat ion for re- gistration as a Medical student. Opinions ■ considerably concerning tbe value of tbeae islands as Selda for Medical practice, but, as far as my knowledge of the sub- ject extends, Barhadces is the most at- ive and Trinidad tbe least so of al) of . All, however, are more or less overstocked with Medical practitioners. FRENCH POSSESSIONS These consist for the most part of tbo small iblanda of Ooadaloupe, Marie Ua- lante, and Martinique. Any French Phy- 1 may practise at these islands, hut those who have done bo have not made large fortunes. SPANISH POSSESSIONS Those oonaisb of the large island of Porto Rico, and a few other very amall ' islands. Sun Juan is a prosperous town, but Spanish Medicid men monopolise all JAPUA OB HEW aUIHEA This large island ia inhabited by auveral races. of natives, who, although of a war- like nature, have highly cultivated the land, which produces sugar cane, aago, Indian coru, &a, Altbough tbere are a great number of European and American settlers here, there is nothing to tempt a Medical man to commence ■□ practice among tbe white people at the Dutch colony of Triton's Bay, The climate is wretchedly uncomfortable and damp. FHiLiPFnrE zslauss Tliese valuable islands belong to Spain, and have a populntiou of nearly 6,000,000. Few Spaniards, however, reside in tbe islands, the leading mercantile hoaaes being British and American. There are also an immense number of rich Chinese and Japanese. Next to Cuba this is the most valuable colonial posseaaion of Spain, the annnnl profits being enormoos. The capital town, Manila, hoa a. population of nearly 300,000, of whom n large portian are Chinese, and about 6000 are Europeans.

The greatest part of the trade is with England, and there are cOQse- gUGDtly n large number of British lesi' dents at the capital town Palmas (popu- lation 60,000). The population of these islands is 2H0,000. CAPE VERDE ISLANDS These islands belong to Portugal, and have B population of aboat 70,000. The climate is decidedly unhealthy and rain C' ' n falls. Medical practice is regu- by the Portuguese laws. There are Iritish residents here. KADASASCAS is largo island is at lust in a fair tion of prosperity, being ruled over civilised monarch in the person of a Ranovolomanjalia II, who has made the most astonishing advances in modem civilisation, only second to those made by her royal anceeter Kadana I. Schools have been opened at the chief town, and Europeans allowed perfect freedom. Antananarivo has a population of 90,000, iucluding a great number oC Europeans, who have established facteries and can^ oa n Utrge import and eiport trade with Mauritius, Bonrboa, and India. Edaca- tiou is prngressing rapidly, and the science of Medicine is being tanght by several European Professors at the Medical Scliool :n the centre of the town. Dr Andrew Davidson, one of the Phyriciuns to the Queen, is Professor uf Medicine and Phy- sician to the Antananarivo Hospital, and has written several medical works in tlie native langnafce for the use of the students. Dr Qeorge William Parker, another of &e PbysioiauB |j3 the Queen, is Professor of Ckiomiatry and Surgi'ry. HASEIBA These islands belong tu Portugal, and POMCN a atimate celebrated for its salu- INIA Ml hrity and mlldneag, the moon temperature being 65°, and the eicremes 74° and 08°. It is very doubtful whether the climate of Madeira really deserves all that has het^n said in its favour, althoagli we hnve the authority of Mr Wilde, who has written upon the subject, that " independent ot its acknowledged elHcacy in chronic affec- tions, the climate of Madeira will do more to ward off threatened diseases of the chest, or even to arrest them in their inoipient stages, than any I am acquainted with." The islands were known to the Romans under the name of " PQrpnrario) Inanlie." Funchal, the capital town, is a deligbtfal place, surrounded by fruits, flowers, vege- tables, orange groves, lemon trees, and a mass ot luiuriant herbage. The people ore industrious, sober, civil, and agreeable. The laws affecting the Medical IVofession arc the same as in PorCngal. There are British, French, Portuguese, and German Physicians in the principal island, and numbers of invalids from those countries, which makes the society very agreeable. MAURITIUS This island belongs to Great Britain, and has several British Pljysicians and Surgeons at Port IjoqIs, tbo chief town. Any British Medical man may practise there, but the chauces of success would he small. The Medical men already there are in, the Government or other services, and monopolise all the practice worth having. The people are reported to be anything but agreeable, and the climate is not one of the best. It is, moreover, a most expen- sive place to live in. The CSvil Medical officer is well paid, but the Health officer and Vaccination officer are very badly paid, and the other Medical men, employed chiefly in sugar plantations, earn ejcecd- ingly small incomes. The laogUBge is French patois. Thore is no Medical School in the island, bnt at Port Lonis there b n good Hoapit^ NEW ZEALAND These valnahlo islands belong to Orcnt Ilritain, and possess a highly salubrious climate.

The first atup towards obtaining: a certificate of Medical registra- tion in New Zealand is to deposit One Pound, together with the Diploma, iu the office of the Regiatcar, and insert a nolifi- cntioQ of the intention to practise in the ' General aovernment QaKBtte,' and in a ucirspaper ciroulntiug in tbe aeighbonr. hood. This notification must give the name in foil, with the Degree or Diploma, and mast appear one mouth previous t« the applicaUon tar tbe certiScate of regis- tration. Tbe Fee for the cerUlicate is Five Shillings. " Bchedule A" of the Imperial Medical Act of 1S69, contained a list of those Degriiea and Diplomas, one of which it ia necessary to possess before registering under the MediodlPtaclitionera' BagiaCration Act of New Zeuland. Tbey ore OS follons :— " A Medical officer dnly qualified in Her Majesty's laud or sea ser- vii^e. Any person registered under the Medical Practitioners' Act of 1867.

It was originally intended that the University of Otago, which wga esta- blished previously, should merge into tbe more important character of the New Zea- land Vniveisity, hut local jealousy stood somewhat in the way. The University of Otago has power by Provincial Ordinance to grant Degrees." There ia no Medical School in New Zealand.

It has an endowment of 210,000 acres of pastoral laud. The University buildings are a commodious and cfi'ective pile, erected at a cost of £34.000. The Arts Degrees are recognised in Oreat Britain, Neither the Medical Degrees granted by this University, nor those of New Zealand University, grant the licence to practise, bath being merely scientlflo titlee. The licence must be obtained from the " Board of Medical Examiners," which grants the certifloatB of Registration to qualified practitioners on payment of a fee. and to unqualified candidates npnn passing hlh " before the Board. ^| ST HELENA At this British Colony there a four Medical men, and there is no room for a fifth. The Colonial Office m London appirints a Colonial Surgeon to attend per- manently to the Sranicn's Hospital and the civil servants of the Qovemment, who absorbs all the good practice f^m calling ships, residents, &a. The War Office in London appoints a Military Surgeon and Assistant Surgeon to attend to tbs gar- rison ofBcars and men every five years. The Local Oovernment Board in London appoints the fourth Medical officer to attend to the poor and labouring classes, clubs, &c., at a salary of £350 per annum, which gradually increases to £380. This officer is engaged for a term of three years, and has little chance of obtaining much private practice. The climate is excclient and society very agreeable.

There are ■peciat treaties between tbs Governments id Eonolola and Great Britain, France, and the United States, which provida for the protection of foreign residents, and at the same time guarantee the integrity of the kiogdom. After this encouraging de- scription it is unnecessary to say that Honolulu aJTorde a good field for Medical practice. The foreigu rcaidents are both nnmeroos aud wealthy, and the natives I; thrifty, honest, and prosperous. There are I at present several Physicians from Britain, . France, and the States in practice there, but with the expected increase of popula- tion there will be room for more.

SOTTTH-SEA ISLANDS (FIJI) These islands, which beluug to Qrcat Bri- tain, poasesa a remarkably mild and genial climate, and are likely to become a favourito resort for European and American traders. There are already a great number of white people at the two large towns, including the garrison, and several European Medical men have recently gone out, and are apparently quite satlstled with their choice of couutry. From the acconnta of travellara recently returned from F^i It is recommended that intending emigrants, profenaional men and others, should have something definite in view, and not trust to the chanca of something turning op after arrival. TASMANIA (VAN DIEMAN'S LAND) The law having reference tji Medical. Practitioners in Tasmania is somewhat similar to that in force in the Australian colonies. The carrying- out of tlie law is entrusted to a committee called the ' " Tasmanian Court of Medical Eiamlners," which also ciamines unqualified candidates for the licence to practise, provided they have attended a sofficiently coinptetf Course of stadies at a Medical School. There is no Medical School in the island. Tbe registration fee ja Five Shillings. There ia a good Hospital at HohartTowu,contHi nine 110 beds, one year's attendance at which is recognised by the British Colleges of Phy- sicians and Surgeons.
